Descending from FL400 to an airport 55 nm away is a handful, even if they had to fly east of the airport to turn back to land on runway 29. Single pilot, human reaction to the stress of a friend/coworker in dire medical condition, while the other pilot tries to provide medical assistance. You'd be be busy enough with 2 guys without treating a medical emergency. Single pilot + the medical emergency? Kudo's to the crew!
